Being a lifelong Cubs fan, the unprecedented success of 2016’s squad has been jarring for me. Knowing the perils of cheering for a team that consistently disappoints, and recognizing that the Cubs last World Series appearance was in 1945, the Cubs’ World Series berth this year could truly be a once in a lifetime experience.
As my beloved team faced a 3-1 deficit, I felt compelled to hop on the Megabus and make the seven-hour pilgrimage to the holy mecca of Cubs fans: Wrigleyville, for Game 5 of the World Series.
For those unaffiliated with Cubs culture, Wrigleyville is the neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field, the stadium where the Cubs play.
